26-52-514. Determining total consideration for sale of vehicle -- Alternative method.

(a) The Director of the Department of Finance and Administration is authorized to adopt an alternative method for determining the total consideration for the sale of new or used:

(1) Manufactured homes, mobile homes, or modular homes under 26-52-801 et seq.;

(2) Aircraft under 26-52-505; and

(3) Motor vehicles, trailers, or semitrailers under 26-52-510 and 26-53-126.

(b) (1) The alternative method adopted shall incorporate any generally accepted method of determining the value of the item being sold.

(2) If the consideration stated by the parties to the sale is less than the value determined by such generally accepted method of valuation, then for purposes of taxation it shall be presumed that the higher figure is the total consideration, unless the taxpayer provides a contract, bill of sale, or other evidence establishing that the true consideration is less than the value determined under the alternative method.
